The white lines tell you which lane to stay in.There are also big arrows on the street to inform you where you need to go. Edit: It seems the construction crew just did a shit job rather than the intersection itself. Although this is the first day of the intersection, there will be problems on the first day.
+Carlos Fontanez Same lane as before. You need to turn left, you get in the left lane. Turning right, go to the rightmost lane. Passing through, stay in the middle. None of this has changed, only which side of the bridge you drive on.
The street splits in the middle. So the middle lanes then become left and right. If you were originally thinking of staying in the middle to pass through, now you are on the left lane or on the right lane when it splits. It isn't easy to see where your lane leads to before you get on the bridge. Therefore drivers slow down to figure out where they are going and which lane to take.
I am from Springfield MO the 1st city in the United States to use this interchange and I can tell you they make traffic flow so so nice. Wonderful idea wish more cities used them.
Its mathematically safer in every single way. These are the same people that get confused at roundabouts "These dang circles what is this european witchcraft, when the hell do I go"
The only issue there was it was a bad refit that added to the need for people to adjust to change. They should have repaved the top layer to completely remove the old lines.
I thankfully understand how roundabouts work, but this diamond may be a bit difficult to use for the first few months for newcomers, but I support new road innovations, including the diamond. :) Practice makes perfect
the first time I drove through one of these I had no clue what it was and had never even heard of it before but I made it through it just fine, they arnt hard and there are half as many places to get in an accident.
It may be confusing at first, but once you get used to them, you really see how inefficient the traditional intersections are. For some reason, I really like driving through these intersections!
+steve b: Forgive my likely incorrect assumption, but I get the vibe that you're speaking only from your experience playing Cities: Skylines and are blind to everything (including context) but absolute efficiency. Please acknowledge how much space the cloverleaf takes up, and explain how we can reasonably apply it to the interchange in the video. You have access to everything you need online short of actually visiting the location, including satellite imagery and first-person street imagery.

So much enthusiasm, in fact, that I'm going to wait for the reply instead of going out for a drive through the fantastic (when built correctly) interchange described in the video! ;) I anticipate I'll be waiting for a while.
k ma if you do the proper research, DDI interchanges first started in missori in 2009. the federal highway administration approved the use of such a interchange and it has since improved the flow of traffic by 90% and increased the accident mortality rate and reduced overall accidents there. if your not drunk outta your mind DDIs should work well. ;)
Here in New Jersey, the state has actually gotten rid of several, replacing them with standard 4-way intersections with traffic lights. Granted, they were actually traffic circles (an older design), but reconfiguring to a modern roundabout would have been much cheaper, more efficient, and safer.
Justin Franks here in Malaysia we like roundabouts and I can safely say we have zero diamond intersections. Whe have the world's largest in Putrajaya 😁
Jesus, please no. It's bad enough they can't navigate through traditional intersections. How are they supposed to know how to give way to traffic in a roundabout, and that they have the ROW in the roundabout?! /sarcasm *PeopleAreDumb.
I was driving through Michigan and took I75 south from 14 mile road. First I was confused why there is a traffic sign that put me on the left side the road but I realized right away that it's a DDI. What's the problem with these central Texas people that they are complaining?
This was pretty badass. I was in Austin for the first time and discovered this gem (no pun intended) by accident after wanting to explore the IKEA there. I didn’t know wether they had one in Austin but hipster films told me Austin is a perfect home for IKEA so I headed over there. After having to come back to downtown, I recognized the signs from this TV segment and was like “omg, this is that awesome inters on TV! Here! In Austin!”
Bottom line is you can’t have that extreme of an intersection change and just black out the old lane lines. It sucks when they do that anywhere, much more there
People being confused on the road is a GOOD THING. When they are confused they will actually pay more attention and drive slower. Compare this to the old system where a driver would let their guard down every time a light turned green.
This really says a lot about the qualifications for driving in this country. Unless you’re changing lanes, you stay in the damn lines. Exactly the same as every single road with traffic lines in the entire country.
So why is this design better than a standard cloverleaf design? This design includes 2 traffic lights, where traffic has to stop. The cloverleaf design allows for continuous traffic flow in all directions. I'm not criticizing this design, just trying to learn the benefits of it.
I think it's generally being constructed in places where the existing cloverleaf has traffic lights. The Wikipedia article lists the following advantages: -Two-phase signals with short cycle lengths, significantly reducing delay. -Reduced horizontal curvature reduces the risk of off-road crashes. -Increases the capacity of turning movements to and from the ramps. -Potentially reduces the number of lanes on the crossroad, minimizing space consumption. -Reduces the number of conflict points, thus theoretically improving safety. -Increases the capacity of an existing overpass or underpass, by removing the need for turn lanes. -Costs significantly less than a normal interchange. Two-phase signals seem to include left turn arrows as a 3rd phase. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diverging_diamond_interchange There's also a UA-cam video of it at ua-cam.com/video/A0sM6xVAY-A/v-deo.html
TBH, a birds-eye view makes it look way more complicated, and is the vantage point of a plane, not a car. If you want to go right onto the highway, approach it in the right lane and merge, waiting at no lights. Left, left lane, turn off after you pass over and merge. Go straight? Just don't turn off.
Not "SUPPOSED TO" --- IT DOES. The cycles for the lights are reduced, traffic flows speed up and the number of places where traffic crosses is reduced dramatically. Once the markings are clear, it is not confusing at all. The traffic flow improvements are well worth the time and money to upgrade to these at every high volume highway crossing.
I still don't understand what is confusing people. Stay between the white lines, when the light is green, you go. When you wanna turn left, you go to the left lane, if you wanna stay on the road, you follow the mid or right lane. If you want to get on the highway, you turn right waay before you reach the interchange. So what is confusing? I understand that in this case, it was poorly painted, so the old lines are an issue. But without them, it's really not rocket science.
What is dangerous about this design is the crossing diamonds. Speeding traffic approaching the diamond will have a tendency to stay on the right side. This will be more likely in light traffic approaching the diamond in poor lighting and weather conditions. The result will be a head on collision with waiting traffic on the bridge. None of the descriptions of this type of interchange seem to address this issue.
ed p You would have to be drunk to end up on the wrong side. Going to the right would immediately cause an accident, and people would naturally go to the left and follow the lanes. There are also signs if the lanes are not visible from snow. If someone gets confused and can’t figure it out, they don’t deserve a license.
No it doesn't what a load of bull. So you are showing an intersection that has hardley opened were drivers are still getting used to it. Why don't you come back lets say in a few months or half a year This is an ingenious system that reduces traffic and saves dollars and lives it just takes a little time to get used to.People are just resistant to change. This system needs to be patented across the globe.
i agree. having driven through it, i found no direction signs or which lanes to be in. as stated by the reporter, the texas sun reflects off the old stripes. a more contrasting stripe job should have been done. there was an accident there the first hour it opened.
If you want to turn right, use the right lane. If you want to turn left, use the left lane. If you want to go straight, use the middle lanes. Same way that it works now. I don't know why you would need signs to remind you of this every time you use it. And following lane lines isn't that hard. Any old lines that intersect the new ones would do so at an angle. Just pick the left or right line and follow it. Canadian roads are terrible, lots of freeze/thaw cycles tear apart asphalt like you wouldn't believe, so our roads tend to be somewhat patchworked together. Old lines are visible everywhere, and they've never confused me.
The only time I don't like this intersection design is when you are coming off the service road and want to turn right. If it's not signed will, or you don't have your own lane after you turn, you look at the wrong side of the road to see if traffic is coming. That said I don't get why bit just put on 2 roundabouts on either side of the overpass. That also eliminates the lights completely and the risk of a crash from crossing traffic.
I understand the issue with the old lines being reflective which makes it confusing at first but after 1 or 2 times driving through one there is nothing confusing about it.
I apologize for making fun of Texas drivers, look at this thing on google maps... it's HORRIBLY designed. And diverging diamonds can be so simple to build! Texas freeway designers are special
You want to drive left, stay on left line, you want to turn right, stay on right line. You want to drive forward stay in midle line (after right line go right its right line) between white lines... How much simpler it can be?
@@marcinlechicki4019 keep in mind that this is the same country where cities and state DOTs respond to a car crashing into a tree in a neighborhood by cutting down the tree
They opened it with literally conflicting strips still visible giving mixed signals about where the lanes are. How could that not be confusing and stressful?
Of course it’s confusing ... we drive on the right in the US but the key point of this interchange is that the lanes switch sides so you end up driving on the left as you transition through the interchange. It’ll definitely take some getting used to.
2:12 "the lanes cross back to the left"... no. Its right. not left. perhaps that makes a bit of the confusion. What about a simple roundabout like in use in the UK since centuries?

using a phone while driving or not paying attention in any intersection will cause problems ! DDIs are the most efficient, but stupid people will always rant against progress :))))
It all seems quite logical but a large European style roundabout would be simpler and more effective. At a roundabout (which is a one way system) you give way (yield) on entry to any traffic coming from your left but keep moving if the way is clear and then leave at the exit that you want.On approach to the roundabout there is a large directional sign showing you the location of your exit road out of the roundabout. No traffic lights, it's simple and it works well.
that concept already exists, it's called a double crossover merging interchange, and not a single one has been built because it's like a shittier version of a flyover interchange; just as expensive, even worse for pedestrians, but this time it has left lane exits
as much as I hate ddis I'm gonna have to come to their defense right now, they aren't confusing in the slightest. I'm not sure how mfs are confused by something that state dots came up with considering their ultimate goal is to make driving as idiot proof as possible at the expense of safety for anyone outside of a car
From what I can see, the DOT should have done a MUCH better job of lining the road. If you are involved in an accident, I would suggest a lawsuit against the DOT if this could have been a contributing factor.
There's nothing confusing about it. You literally have no left turns to make. People just wanted to something to complain about when their life was thrown into turmoil by an a minor change.
If these people would play Cities Skylines , they would know how these interchanges work. smh
Not really, you just have to follow the lines when you get to an intersection
If this confuses you... go return your drivers license
If there are no signs telling you which lane to be in, it can be d@mn confusing.
It is just one more thing that's fucked up in Austin.

You just have to drive 'on the wrong side of the road' as you cross over the bridge, that simplifies it.
